-- This package is used to compute the Value attribute for enumeration types
-- other than those in packages Standard and System. See unit Exp_Imgv for
-- details of the format of constructed image tables.
package System.Val_Enum is
pragma Pure;
function Value_Enumeration_8
(Names : String;
Indexes : System.Address;
Num : Natural;
Str : String)
return Natural;
-- Used to compute Enum'Value (Str) where Enum is some enumeration type
-- other than those defined in package Standard. Names is a string with
-- a lower bound of 1 containing the characters of all the enumeration
-- literals concatenated together in sequence. Indexes is the address
-- of an array of type array (0 .. N) of Natural_8, where N is the
-- number of enumeration literals in the type. The Indexes values are
-- the starting subscript of each enumeration literal, indexed by Pos
-- values, with an extra entry at the end containing Names'Length + 1.
-- The parameter Num is the value N - 1 (i.e. Enum'Pos (Enum'Last)).
-- The reason that Indexes is passed by address is that the actual type
-- is created on the fly by the expander.
--
-- Str is the argument of the attribute function, and may have leading
-- and trailing spaces, and letters can be upper or lower case or mixed.
-- If the image is found in Names, then the corresponding Pos value is
-- returned. If not, Constraint_Error is raised.
function Value_Enumeration_16
(Names : String;
Indexes : System.Address;
Num : Natural;
Str : String)
return Natural;
-- Identical to Value_Enumeration_8 except that it handles types
-- using array (0 .. Num) of Natural_16 for the Indexes table.
function Value_Enumeration_32
(Names : String;
Indexes : System.Address;
Num : Natural;
Str : String)
return Natural;
-- Identical to Value_Enumeration_8 except that it handles types
-- using array (0 .. Num) of Natural_32 for the Indexes table.
